Changes in the fractionation profile of Al, Ni and Mo during bioleaching of spent hydroprocessing catalysts with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-06-05)
Spent hydroprocessing catalysts are known to contain a variety of potentially toxic metals and therefore studies on the bioavailability and mobility of these metals are critical for understanding the possible environmental ...
Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon Emissions reduction Targets via energy MANAGEMENT in non-energy intensive multi-site manufacturing organisations
(Elsevier, 2018-03-14)
Research on the characteristics of long-term energy policy and associated strategies in multisite
manufacturing organisations is limited. Non-energy intensive multinationals do not face
the environmental regulations ...
Enhancement of bauxite residue as a low-cost absorbent for phosphorus in aqueous solution, using seawater and gypsum treatments.
(Elsevier, 2018-01-20)
Bauxite residue (red mud), the by-product produced in the alumina industry, is being produced at an estimated global rate of approximately 150Mt per annum. Due to its highly alkaline nature, many refineries use neutralisation ...
Contrasting yield responses to phosphorus applications on mineral and organic soils from extensively managed grasslands: Implications for P management in high ecological status catchments
(Wiley, 2018-09-13)
Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland production is one of the main causes affecting high status water bodies in Europe. Soils with a high content in organic matter (OM), even if extensively managed, are particularly vulnerable ...
The influence of crown and stem characteristics on timber quality in softwoods
(Elsevier, 2018-12-28)
The relationships between several crown and tree properties and timber quality were examined on three softwood species: Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst) and Sitka ...
An investigation of the viscoelastic creep behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced timber elements
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)
An investigation was carried out to examine the effect of flexural reinforcement on the long-term behaviour of timber beams. Creep tests, utilising statistically matched groups, were performed under Service Class 1 conditions ...
Unsaturated behaviour of a stabilized marine sediment: A comparison of cement and GGBS binders
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
In order to ascertain the contaminant-encapsulation potential of stabilized soil, an understanding of its unsaturated hydraulic behaviour, specifically the Soil Water Retention Curve (SWRC), is paramount. In this paper, ...
Effects of fertiliser on phosphorus pools in soils with contrasting organic matter content: A fractionation and path analysis study
(Elsevier, 2018-12-05)
With the intensification of agricultural production in many European countries, more marginal soils with elevated organic matter (OM) content are being brought into cultivation. However, little is known about the transformations ...
Discussion of “Statistics of model factors in reliability-based design of axially loaded driven piles in sand”

An evaluation of the general composition and critical raw material content of bauxite residue in a storage area over a twelve-year period
(Elsevier, 2018-10-09)
Bauxite residue, the by-product produced in the alumina industry, is being produced at an estimated global rate of approximately 150 million tonnes per annum. Currently, the reuse of bauxite residue is low (∼2%), due to ...
